According to agro-marketing expert Iurie Rija, the average price level in the last two months of the 2024-25 marketing season was pushed up by shipments of Moldovan seed corn to Germany at 106.3 lei/kg, as well as to Ukraine, Great Britain and the USA at 23-39 lei/kg. At the same time, the main volume of ordinary grain corn in July-August from Moldova was shipped to Greece, Romania, Cyprus and Turkey at the price of 3.9-4.4 lei/kg.
In total, during July-August this year Moldova exported about 20 thousand tons of corn – about the same amount as during the same period last year.
In the last two months of the 2024-25 marketing season, the list of corn exporters was headed by Transnistrian holding Grand Invest Group SRL and Demir Agro SRL from right-bank Moldova. These two grain market operators accounted for 48% of external corn supplies – 9.7 thousand tons.
